[What's Burning?]

DD? Are you some kind of Biology expert?? You need to add your own strange creature of the week...

I hear that forum members have been asking him to post his picture for years.

Aye-ayes are essentially lemur woodpeckers. They use their elongated middle fingers to tap on trees and pry off bark in order to find and get to grubs. Their diet also consists of nectar, seeds, fungus, and fruit.



Aye-ayes are known for their boldness. They seem to have little fear of man and will visit villages out of curiousity. Unfortunately, villagers are often superstitious of aye-ayes believing them to be a sign of death or even fearing aye-ayes will break into their homes and stick their long middle finger into their throat while they sleep at night. Aye-ayes are often killed on sight.

They have these in Yorkshire. They're called 'Ey Up's 'Ey Up's.
